Today is hump day and so I would like to leave you with a thought:
What better time than now to rethink all of your assumptions about everything? If you aren’t loving your work or your life, now is the time to ask yourself why not. Often we get into our day to day routines and stop asking ourselves what it is that actually makes us happy. For each of us the answer will be different, but finding that answer will likely bring us the long missing joie de vive.
Ask yourself why things are and answer those questions with new answers, not the ones you’ve been using all these years.

A lot of readers have been asking me why I don’t post my positions on the upcoming election. Actually, no one has asked, but I feel compelled to share.
Ultimately, I don’t share my viewpoints on politics because frankly I don’t think they matter. Now after reading that you may be nodding your head in agreement, but hold on. I also don’t think your viewpoints matter. We each only get a single vote, and most of our minds are made up very early in the process even before the VeeP-stakes. So whether Obama picks a frog to be his running-mate or McCain picks inmate #47392, its all inconsequential to most of us.
The candidates and pundits can come up with hundreds of reasons on why the other candidate is a lunatic and will destroy America, but somehow the people who’ve already made up their mind always have a rebuttal.
“That man played golf with SATAN on Thursday!!” says mud-slinger.
“You are mistaken and the words you speak aren’t even credible because you don’t even have a library card!” says staunch supporter.
“HAHA! That anti-Amercian doesn’t even have a library card!” say all the mud-slingers in unison.
And so it goes… America has survived this long with crazy Republicans and Democrats, it’ll likely survive another 4 to 8 years. So relax, the best you can do is vote for the one whom you think will mess up the least.
I predict the Apple Special Event in 7 minutes will cause a greater loss of US productivity than March Madness. On the other hand, the newly announced hardware will likely make up for the loss in productivity… until MacWorld in January.
